We replace the variables in curly braces with values for each defendant in the dataset. Following [1]} we also consider a prompt in which race is included, by changing the first sentence in the above prompt to be: The defendant is a {race} {sex} aged {age}. We rely on few-shot learning [2]}, in which we provide the language model with 50 labeled examples taken at random from the training dataset (less than 1% of the data) before querying the models on each independent test prompt.
